Getting Started

LCD Panel

The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel displays one 16-character line at a time. Messages longer than 16 characters are broken into 16-character sections and are alternated in the display.

The LCD panel displays messages on the current status of the printer. Job-related messages refer to the status of the job closest to completion. Media-related messages indicate the type of paper and ribbon that are loaded in the printer. Messages also appear when the paper tray is empty, when the printer's cover is open, or when errors occur.

The printer's display panel provides information about the status of the printer. The information that appears depends on the current state of the printer.

EmulationÐthis part of the message displays RASTER.

MediaÐthis part of the message displays the size of the paper that is loaded in the paper tray.

RibbonÐthis part of the message displays the type of ribbon that is loaded in the printer.

Status information is returned to the computers which send files to the printer. Refer to Chapter 4, Correcting problems, and to the printing software documentation for more information.
